Li Zicheng let his hands and feet be subdued, he looked at the sky blankly, the sky was gloomy and there was no sunshine, just like this world, dark and dreary!
He recalled the dream of his childhood, in which he rode a horse and led thousands of men and horses to the capital.Then he saw the Forbidden City, the place of the highest power in the world, which was magnificent.And he, Li Zicheng, actually stepped step by step on the top of this sentient being, ascended the throne as the emperor, and then accepted the worship of thousands of subjects.O Emperor!
What honorable title is this?
This is also the throne that Li Zicheng dreamed of, because of the dream of his childhood, he thought that he was the pride of that day, and one day he would step on the pinnacle of power.But?
Why is this happening?
Li Zicheng watched Hong Chengchou get closer and closer, the knife in his hand was shining cold, and the knife was about to take his head.Li Zicheng sighed, simply closed his eyes, and his last thought was: Shouldn't his life be like this?
Then he felt a cold neck, and Li Zicheng's consciousness fell into a deep darkness, and he didn't know anything.Hong Chengchou lifted the blood-stained head and spitted, "It's just such an ordinary head, but it makes Bendu work hard." ”After Hong Chengchou took the head, the guard next to him hurriedly took out a sandalwood box, which was very well carved, and there were complicated luodian on it, which was extremely exquisite.Because Li Zicheng's head was to be presented to His Majesty the Emperor for preview, Hong Chengchou did not dare to casually use an ordinary box.Hong Chengchou stared at Li Zicheng's head and said, "You are blessed to have such a good box for your head." ”After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he threw Li Zicheng's head to the guards next to him and asked him to deal with it.The guard first lifted his head vertically so that the dirty blood would drain out, and then he picked up the white snow and wiped the blood on Li Zicheng's skull clean, and then put it into the box.In order to keep the skull from rotting, he also filled the box with a lot of ice and snow!
After doing all this, Hong Chengchou ordered someone to quickly send the head of the thief Kou Li Zicheng to the capital.At the same time, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang and others, who fled before, were also ambushed, and the whole army was wiped out, and there were no dead bodies.Since then, Li Zicheng's rogue has finally been wiped out by the combined forces of Chen Qiyu and Hong Chengchou.Annihilating hundreds of thousands of Liukou, this is a very staggering number, not to mention the bleeding and drifting, you can take a boat, okay?
There were enough corpses to fill a Grand Canyon, and the northern part of Hubei was almost empty.Of course, there were also captives, Chen Qiyu captured about 50,000 thieves, and these thieves were all driven to the open space outside Lantian County, and they were overwhelmed.Chen Qiyu didn't have any money to repair the house for them, so he directly surrounded a fence and drove these people in, and he didn't even prepare straw for these thieves.It's cold, and it's easy to freeze to death when sleeping in the wilderness, but fortunately, there are many thieves, and they are crowded together, so they finally have some warmth.After Chen Qiyu handed over the captives to Hong Chengchou, he asked him to distinguish between good and evil according to Sun Chuanting's method.And this Hong Chengchou is a very murderous person, he actually doesn't want any prisoners at all, he prefers to kill.To tell the truth, Hong Chengchou can't wait to cast these thieves into the Jingguan Arithmetic Ball.Because Sun Chuanting's method is really fucked up, the trouble is dead, Hong Chengchou is a person who is afraid of trouble.But Chen Qiyu strongly objected, Chen Qiyu was the governor of Huguang, and he was also ready to take some thieves back to Hubei to develop production!
Nowadays, Hubei is empty, and the remaining people are all old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is an urgent need for young and middle-aged labor to fill the vacancy of manpower.Hong Chengchou is not good at offending Chen Qiyu, it is said that this guy is also a favorite of His Majesty the Emperor, so he can only compromise.Fifty thousand thieves were imprisoned in rudimentary fences, trembling and not knowing what the fate would be.Most of them didn't have any decent clothes or warm shoes, and most of them wore straw sandals, shivering from the cold.In fact, they are just a group of mud legs who can't eat, and some people don't understand what rebellion means, anyway, they just follow others.didn't think about it, not only did they not have a full meal, but now they have to put their lives into it, these thieves are about to regret their deaths, and they should have lived with peace of mind on the old man's field.But?
It seems that the old men are also dead?
Tenant farmers who did not take refuge in the thieves were also killed, what could they do?
The left and right are actually just a death.The thieves waited in fear to be beheaded, but the officers and soldiers seemed to have forgotten them, and neither came to cut off their heads nor gave them food, as if they had forgotten them?
If it is a real forgetting, the key is that the officers and soldiers are not allowed to sleep, which is very painful.A day without sleep, it's fine!
I didn't sleep for two days, make do!
I didn't sleep for three days, and I endured it!
Four days without sleep, want to die!
If you don't sleep for five days, it's better to live than to die!
These thieves walked around in a daze, but anyone who dared to sleep was immediately thrown over with a leather whip or a basin of cold water.Splashing cold water in winter, if you are weak, you can freeze to death directly.In a daze, the thieves felt that someone was asking them questions, and these thieves had long lost their thinking ability, so they answered whatever they asked anyway.In this way, Hong Chengchou found out 10,000 thieves who committed the most heinous crimes, and directly beheaded them for public display.The remaining 40,000 thieves who did not do great evil were directly handed over to Chen Qiyu and taken back to Hubei by Chen Qiyu.Now Hubei is a good time to break and stand up, and Li Zicheng has killed many big families in Hubei, and their fields have become terra nullius.According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, all the borderless lands should be returned to the state, so the government collected a lot of land, changing the pattern of Hubei in one fell swoop.Of course, although there are many fields in the government now, there are not many mud legs for farming!
Li Zicheng's fight was to kill the dense population of the land of fish and rice, and it was deserted for thousands of miles, maybe it was not Li Zicheng's order, but it was also caused by his inability to restrain his subordinates.Li Zicheng's head was finally sent to the capital and presented to His Majesty the Emperor.Although Chongzhen was too lazy to look at Li Zicheng's dead head, his head was lost by Chongzhen as soon as it was delivered, and he didn't know where it went.But Li Zicheng was dead, which made Chongzhen quite happy, and he was finally a little farther away from hanging the crooked neck tree.Although the mountain behind it has been renamed Huaguo Mountain, and there is no crooked neck tree, Chongzhen is still afraid!
Who knows if there will be another tree after the crooked neck tree?
